4-I guide
Our word has already been given to Our servants who were sent as messengers,
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How sure are you that Allah keeps His promises?"
Watch the Islamic Stories for Kids video Having Yaqeen in Allah's Promise.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "To whom did Allah's word go?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What did Allah promise the messengers?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Saffat is surah 37. Find ayah 171. The key word kalimatuna means Our word, Allah's promise. Allah made a promise to His messengers long ago, and the next ayat tell what it is. Every story in this surah, Nuh, Ibrahim, Musa, Ilyas, Lut and Yunus, shows that promise coming true.
Fact: What does the word yaqin mean?
Ages 5–8: Promise stars. Draw a star for each prophet in this surah whom Allah helped.
Ages 9–12: Promise kept. Pick two stories from this surah and show how Allah's promise came true.
Finish with: "I found that yaqin means ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will remember one promise of Allah when I feel unsure."
Action: Remember one promise of Allah when you feel unsure.
